Aside from being fan favorites and a huge part of the Carolina Hurricanes’ core of phenomenal players in their own right these days, what do Dougie Hamilton and Teuvo Teravainen have in common? Both were added to the Canes not by the Entry Draft or free agency, but by trade.
Player trades, to me at least, are one of the more interesting and fun parts of hockey to anticipate, speculate about, and keep track of.
